> If you mean the DX2 to DD, I'm 95% sure it's a 25-25 cable wired 1 to 1. That's what the cable is for the PC to DX2 connection and the same port on the parallel chip on the DX2 drives the DD connection (it shares data lines).

OK thanks for that. I tryed that but when i hook it up and turn the DD on. The light on the SNES comes on. Then when i turn on the snes, I just get a black screen.

Maybe the parallel port in my SWC is not working.

Thanks
